Admixture influences the genetic architecture of DNA methylation in a wild primate hybrid zone
Together, these results demonstrate how admixture can meaningfully alter the genetic architecture of gene regulatory traits in natural hybrid zones. They also suggest that the genetic architecture of DNA methylation is conserved across closely related primates, suggesting that genetic effects on gene regulation may remain stable over timescales that range into the millions of years.
